Chapter 388 Halfway Champion

Of course, Gao Bo didn't have time to engage in a public opinion war with Mourinho.

Gao Bo himself is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.

In a verbal confrontation with Mourinho, isn't this attacking the opponent's strengths with one's own shortcomings?Gao Bo doesn't know how to do this kind of thing, and he doesn't have the time to do it.

After the end of the 19th round of the league, Atletico Madrid has actually locked in the half-time championship in advance, but since the No. [-] league round has not yet started, the system has not yet cashed in the rewards for the half-time championship series of tasks.

After the No.18 league round, the first round of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals will begin immediately.

Just on the third day after the game with Hercules, at home, Atletico Madrid faced the visiting Real Betis!

Before the game, many media believed that Real Betis might give up this game, because Real Betis has a great hope of upgrading this season. In the league, their No.2 points advantage has been weakened to two points. Winning the second division championship and then upgrading to La Liga is the biggest goal of Real Betis. The distraction of the Copa del Rey is meaningless for Real Betis unless they can have hope of winning this competition.

But this is simply impossible!
Real Betis will not put their hopes on such illusory things. For them, upgrading is the most real thing.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid is still half of the main force and half of the substitutes in this game, while Real Betis is completely all substitutes!
Real Betis completely put on a gesture of giving up the Copa del Rey!
In the end, their substitute lineup failed to reap any benefits at the Calderon Stadium. Real Betis' substitutes wanted to perform in this game, seize this rare opportunity to start, impress the head coach with their performance, and expect to get a starting position!

But after all, Atletico Madrid is too weak in strength. Real Betis's efforts were crushed in the No. 20 minute of the game!
Aguero made a clever shot in the penalty area, and the football passed under the defender's crotch. Such a line was completely in the blind spot of the goalkeeper's sight, so the Real Betis goalkeeper had nothing to do.

After taking the lead, Atletico Madrid played more calmly. They controlled the rhythm of the field and kept tearing up Real Betis' defense with passes.In the 308th minute of the game, the second goal came naturally.Thiago Cardoso, who started the game, pierced the goal with a low shot from the penalty area!Atletico Madrid lead [-]-[-]!
Atletico Madrid, leading by two goals, played more leisurely.In the second half, Mario Suarez headed the net, and Immobile, who came off the bench, scored a shot in the penalty area. Atletico Madrid led Real Betis [-]-[-] at home!
In the two rounds of the Copa del Rey match, Atletico Madrid had already secured the victory in the first round!

Of course, the media after the game would not think that Atletico Madrid would have any surprises in the second round. It is already a certainty that Atletico Madrid will reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. As for whether they can reach the final?That depends on their lottery status.

Gao Bo was not surprised by the [-]-[-] victory over Real Betis. After all, the opponent was only a second-tier team in the second division. If they can't win a big victory against such a team, then Atletico Madrid should extinguish the ambition of winning the league as soon as possible...
After the Copa del Rey match, Atletico Madrid will usher in a league match in three days!

On January 19th, the No.[-] round of the league!The last game of the first half of the league!Atletico Madrid will face Mallorca at home!

Mallorca has performed well this season. They are currently ranked No.7 in the league, and they will continue to climb upwards, and may even qualify for the Europa League.

In this game, the two sides naturally played their best. For Mallorca, they only have the league to fight on. Naturally, it is impossible to give up in a certain game.So it is impossible for Atletico Madrid to win as easily as they did in the Copa del Rey.

It is indeed not easy for Atletico Madrid to win at home. Atletico Madrid, which has played its best, is facing the impregnable wall put up by Mallorca!
In the No. 201 minute of the game, Mallorca even scored a goal through a counterattack!After scoring the goal, Mallorca was even more confident and bold to set up the bus in the backcourt. They entered the passive game mode from the first half, with ten defensive players piled up in the penalty area, and they cleared the ball as soon as possible.
Most teams in La Liga now regard Atletico Madrid as a team on the same level as Barcelona and Real Madrid.....
Facing the opponent's extreme defensive style, Atletico Madrid's offense was not going well. It was not until the last moment of the first half that a corner kick was passed. After the football was cleared and left the penalty area, left-back Sandro rushed up and swung his kick, hitting a world wave!Atletico Madrid opened the situation with a long-range world wave!
But no matter how the goal was scored, Atletico Madrid finally broke Mallorca's tortoise shell!
In the second half, the goal came very early!
Griezmann entered the penalty area after a successful pass from the side, and made a strong cross pass to the center from a position close to the baseline. As a result, the Mallorca defender in the center made a mistake in a panic and hit the ball into his own goal....
Own goals!
With such an own goal, Atletico Madrid overtook the score!
Then Atletico Madrid continued to attack, and they also created some opportunities, but they didn't score any more goals after all.

In the end, the score of this game was [-] to [-]. Atletico Madrid defeated their opponents at home and won the last game of the first half of the league!

"The game is over!! The game is over!!!"

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Aduriz in the commentary was very excited!
"Congratulations to Atlético de Madrid, they won the half-time championship in the 2010-2011 season. Although this does not mean that they can get any honor now, there is a statistic worthy of our attention-in the past ten years, the teams that won the half-time championship have won the final league championship! This statistic may be very encouraging for Atletico Madrid fans, and whether Gao Bo's team can maintain their current state of play in the second half of the game? We will wait and see!"

Gao Bo didn't seem too excited.

After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Gao Bo walked towards Mallorca's head coach Laudrup. Faced with the other party's compliments, Gao Bo remained calm.

Aduriz is right about one thing, the half-time championship doesn't mean anything.

The final league championship does not depend on your points in the middle of the league. At most, it can only show that Atletico Madrid performed well in the first half. As for the second half, can Atletico Madrid maintain the state of the first half?Gao Bo himself didn't dare to guarantee it. The only thing he could do was to maintain the intensity in training and maintain the physical fitness of the players through reasonable rotation.

There is still half of this season.
